Space Food Storage: Daily Travel

Chapter 43: First Meeting after Fleeing from Famine

It's been three days.

Patients with mild symptoms are gradually coming under control. Those with moderate symptoms haven't deteriorated any further. However, the effect on severely ill patients is less pronounced. Without basic rehydration and the potent antibiotic streptomycin, coupled with environmental limitations, treatment is difficult.

Seriously ill patients died every day. The government ordered people to guard the houses and wrap up the dead and burn them directly outside the city.

People are also carried in from all over the place every day.

The city's lack of doctors and medicine boys has spontaneously organized itself. Water and food can still be saved. The difficulty lies in obtaining medicinal materials, and a complete range of them. The sick need them, and those who are not sick also need preventative medicine.

They found the prefect, who told them to hold on for a while longer and that he was already thinking of a solution.

Liu Yuhan took out the related antibiotics that might be needed from the space and went to the house next door.

The innermost three-story house is for critically ill patients. The second-story house is for moderately ill patients. The front yard is for mild cases.

Liu Yuhan walked to the innermost house and entered a room where five critically ill children lived, three girls and two boys.

The three older children, about seven or eight years old, and the two youngest, about the same age as Xiao Si and Xiao Wu, were in the most critical condition.

Liu Yuhan was in charge of looking after them. The patients had no family members accompanying them. Only the medicine boy was responsible for taking them to the toilet, feeding them medicine, and feeding them.

There were 30 staff members at the pharmacy. Liu Yuhan had them all wear N95 masks. He instructed them to disinfect and fumigate their bodies before and after entering the pharmacy every day. All their changed clothes and protective suits were boiled in water. Liu Yuhan made simple protective suit samples, and Dr. Liu had them taken to a clothing store for rapid production. The whole house was filled with the scent of mugwort.

As usual, Liu Yuhan took their temperatures, cooled them down physically, fed them glucose, porridge, herbs, and cleaned them up.

Today, I gave each of them a cephalosporin pill, which has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It can eliminate some bacteria. Right now, I can't tell if it's the right medication for my condition; I can only control their temperature and inflammation first.

"Sister, are you my sister?" The older girl's condition was the most stable. She leaned against the bed and asked her.

Liu Yuhan was wearing men's clothes and spoke to them in her natural accent.

"Yes, you can call me Sister Xiaohan."

"Sister, is my brother feeling better? We will be fine, right?" the little girl said, pointing at the youngest boy.

"He's my younger brother. My father, mother, and brother are all gone. When the earthquake happened, my father stuffed my brother and me under the bed. They went outside to look for my brother, but they were crushed by the house... I took my younger brother out of the city and paid my respects to my father, mother, and eldest brother..."

"Sister Xiaohan, my brother will be fine, right? He's the only relative I have left..."

The little girl shed tears silently when she said this. She is very strong.

"What's your name? What's your brother's name?" Liu Yuhan asked softly.

"My name is Wenjing, which means quiet as a virgin. My mother hopes that I can be well-educated, calm and dignified. My younger brother's name is Wenqing, which means pure as the plum blossom that is not afraid of the cold. My father hopes that my younger brother is pure in conduct and has lofty aspirations. My eldest brother's name is Wenzhuo. My parents hope that he will be outstanding..." Wenjing choked up as she spoke.

Liu Yuhan sighed softly.

"Don't worry, just rest well, you will all be fine, just trust me, okay?"

"Thank you, sister. I believe you."

It was already 11pm when Liu Yuhan walked out of the house after a busy day.

She went to rest in the backyard of the medicine shop. Her parents didn't listen to her in the end. They also went to the house to help. Seeing that the light in her parents' room was still on, Liu Yuhan quietly told them that she was back, and they turned off the lights and rested.

Liu Yuhan returned to her room. This was specially prepared for her by Doctor Liu.

Speaking of Doctor Liu, he is also an unlucky person.

He was originally heading to the capital with the escort company, but he was attacked by barbarians on the way. He escaped with the medicine boy and saved his life.

Fortunately, he had some silver with him, as well as the life-saving medicine Liu Yuhan had given him. He used the silver to exchange for some food, but not long after, he ran into robbers who stole his silver and money as well.

Doctor Liu was in tears, but later, by chance, he saved the son of a pharmacy owner who was rushing from the capital to Yiyang City. So, he followed him to Yiyang City, getting further and further away from the capital...

What a bitter tear.

After listening to what he said, Liu Yuhan couldn't help but sigh that fate was a wonderful thing. She had previously thought that it would be great if she could escape the famine with him, but she didn't expect to meet him in Yiyang City.

In the past two days, Liu Yuhan has been giving cephalexin to the five children. The three older children are getting better and better and can sit up and drink porridge by themselves. The two younger children no longer have a fever, but are still unconscious. Liu Yuhan fed them glucose.

Liu Yuhan looked at the porridge sent from the kitchen. It really was more water than porridge. It seemed that the government was really getting more and more difficult to run. To accommodate so many people and seal off the city, one could imagine how much money was spent every day.

At the hour of Hai, Liu Yuhan wrapped her face with a black scarf and walked towards the yamen.

The backyard of the government office.

"My dear nephew, I am so grateful to you! If you hadn't brought back the herbs and food today, your old uncle Wen would have collapsed."

"Uncle Wen, you are welcome to be so polite. In these troubled times, I am happy to see you do something for the people. If you need any help, just let me know."

A dozen feet away from Wen Tianming sat a young man. He stood tall and straight, his brows like dark emerald green, his eyes like stars. He was dressed in dark-colored clothes, his hair tied up, and his face covered with a scarf.

"My nephew is right. Uncle Wen will not be polite with you. Go to bed early. Tomorrow you have to help Uncle Wen lead some yamen runners to patrol the streets. Some old stubborn people have patients hiding in their homes. If we can't eradicate them, it will be troublesome. You have to help find them. Uncle Wen is really relying on you..." Ababa Ababa...

"Also, your grandfather, that old naughty boy, has finally made contact with the people in the capital? He sent you out here, is there something big going on?"

"He's really something. He's so old and yet he's still struggling. All he does is ask you to lead the troops. Why hasn't he arranged a marriage for you? If you could get married sooner and have children sooner, wouldn't he be happy to have grandchildren?"

"Don't worry. You can't leave for now. There are many beautiful and dignified girls in Yiyang City. I will let your aunt know. After this storm has passed, I will help you find a good girl."

…………

"Uncle Wen! It's late, you should go to bed early. I won't keep you company any longer." After saying that, he stood up, bowed to Wen Tianming and left.

Uncle Wen, I haven't seen him for a year, how come he has become so talkative...

Liu Yuhan secretly found the backyard of the government office, took out a ladder from the space, climbed up the wall, put the ladder into the space, jumped off the wall, and crouched down to look around.

She had been to the government office before and knew that the kitchen was probably located here. Except for the light under the eaves, everything was quiet.

He walked into the kitchen and took out twenty bags of rice from the space, weighing 2000 kilograms. On each bag was a note: "Food for the people - Anonymous."

He walked stealthily to the wall and was about to take out the ladder from the space.

With the wind at her back, she instinctively turned sideways, grabbed his arm, and prepared to give him a heel throw! TNND, she'd been discovered!

And she found that this man was very strong and she couldn't throw him!

Liu Yuhan gave up and tried to sweep the room again, but the man jumped up and dodged again!

Liu Yuhan was secretly anxious, afraid of attracting more people. She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and threw punches quickly, combining the moves she'd learned from Sanda and Taekwondo with the speed she'd gained from sword practice. Each move was fierce and she chased after him. But the man was able to dodge them! Liu Yuhan was furious!

Huo Dong was returning from the capital a few days ago and was planning to pass through Yiyang City to visit Wen Tianming, but he was blocked outside the city.

Wen Tianming asked him to go to the neighboring prefecture to help him get medicinal herbs and food. He had just hurriedly brought the herbs and food to Yiyang City, and before he had even eaten, he was pulled away by the unreliable Uncle Wen to chat...

He was very hungry, it was too late, and he didn't want to bother others, so he wanted to sneak into the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.

He often comes here every one or two years, so he is familiar with this place.

But what did he see?!

A thief? No, he saw a bunch of bags appear in the kitchen, right in front of that kid!

He felt like the world was all fantasy! He almost doubted his own eyesight! No, he rarely doubted himself, so this was all real.

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart. After the boy left, he went to the kitchen and saw the note. There was indeed rice in the bag.

He chased after him and wanted to call him back, but then the above scene happened.

This kid is very skilled. Although he is not tall and has no internal strength, he is extremely fast and his moves are something he has never seen before. If he doesn't deal with him seriously, he might really fall into his trap.

The two of them chatted back and forth for about a cup of tea.

Liu Yuhan was furious. She was furious with herself. Had all those years of training been for nothing? She was also furious with that person. He was clearly just teasing her, practicing with her!

"Shh, don't make any noise. Someone's coming. I'll take you out."

As he said that, he put his arm around Liu Yuhan's shoulders and climbed over the wall.

This, this, this! This lecher! What are you grabbing?! Although this body hasn't fully developed yet... the uncle can tolerate it, but the aunt can't, and the two of them start fighting outside the wall again.

Huo Dong was feeling depressed. He had already stopped, but why was this guy still going on? He fought for a while longer...

Liu Yuhan was really exhausted. She leaned against the wall, holding her waist and waving at him.

"No more fighting, you win. Go away. I'm not a bad person. Just pretend you didn't see me tonight?"

Huo Dong didn't say anything and was even a little embarrassed.

Although he knew that the boy had no ill intentions, he still wanted to know who he was, so he used an excuse to tear off the cloth covering his face and the mask.

A faint light shone on the girl's watery face. Her slightly childish face, with a complexion as crystalline as jade, her cheeks flushed, her eyes like a pool of clear water. Her gaze exuded a refined and noble aura. Her plump, rosy lips panted slightly as she waved him a nonchalant hand.

Liu Yuhan put on the mask.

She wasn't sure if this guy had seen her secret. Even if he had, could she still kill him to silence him?

Alas, she couldn't beat him.

This man is tall and strong. Judging from his eyes, he doesn't seem to be very old, but the endurance and strength he shows cannot be trained overnight.

This reminded her of Jiang Lu. This guy was quite comparable to him, but when it came to fighting, she couldn't guarantee who was better.

She felt like this guy was just teasing her. She felt completely defeated, but quickly consoled herself: This was a master, and it was already quite good that she could fight him for this long...

Huo Dong looked at her changing facial expressions and couldn't guess what she was thinking.

This, this...how can he guess what the girl is thinking?

Facing the girl's cold gaze, the question he wanted to ask suddenly stopped. He had always been a principled man, but today, nothing happened.

"I'm from the government office, on a routine inspection. I saw someone by the wall and wanted to ask about it. I have no ill will towards you, young lady. If you have nothing to do, please leave."

Liu Yuhan bowed to him and left.

As she entered the backyard of the pharmacy, Huo Dong came out from the corner. Could he be someone from the pharmacy?

Silent all night.
